Answer:
$50; $550; $25; $475; $75
Explanation:
Increase in value:
= Investment made × Percentage change
= (500 × 10) ÷ 100
= 50
Thus, the increase in value of country A is $50.
New value = Original value + Increased value
= $500 + $50
= $550
Therefore, the new value of country A's investment in a foreign country at the end of 2015 is $550.
(b) The value of foreign country's investment in country A has decreased to 5%.
Decrease in value = Original value × Decreased value
= (500 × 5) ÷ 100
= 2,500 ÷ 100
= 25
Therefore, decrease in value of country A is $25.
New value = Original value - Decreased value
= $500 - $25
= $475
Thus, the value of foreign countries invests in the country A at the end of 2015 is $475.
Net international investment position:
= (value of country A's investment in a foreign country at the end of 2015) - (value of foreign countries investment in the country A at the end of 2015)
= $550 - $475
= $75
Thus, the market value of the country A's net international investment position at the end of 2015 is $75.
